we find ourselves in you

 

“…oh Beloved, your faithfulness reaches to the clouds…”

-Psalms 36:5

 

i awoke this morning

before the sleepy sun

had even started whispering

the canticle of dawn to its roar

of laughter

 

as the smoke cleared

from out my faithless eyes

i stood before your altar murmuring

to strike a candle, to sing your secret name

my beloved

 

surprised by joy

i discovered you already inside

i realized that true love is like true fire

love is fire, fire is love, both having an appetite

for themselves

 

you are always here

in dumb sleep i thought i had lost you

fool that i am, i continue to doubt your fidelity

into itself fire draws fire as love draws love

into itself

 

you are here within me

candling endlessly a blue flame

flaming me into cobalt nothingness

so that one morning soon i will awake

within you

 

i am your dark butterfly

a cloud of wings hovering in empty azure skies

flirting dangerously higher within your resolute love

yet even as i coyly circle you are vaporizing

me entirety

 

singe my wings to nothing, beloved

make it so that it is you who must dream of me

so that it is i who fly within you rather you in me

the one awakened blazing the one awakener

into one awakening

 

it is not your divine intent

that your lover get so lost in loving

that we find ourselves in you?
